Hey Edwin, yes the Curt Echo mobile brake controller part # C51180 would work great with your 2019 Ram 1500 as this basically works on any vehicle that has an active 7-way on it. What are you towing?

Hey Jameson C, thank you very much. I would be towing a 3,500 to 4,000 lb camper. From what you're telling me, I wouldn't have any problems with that part.

@Edwin Yeah it's perfectly compatible with your truck! All it needs is an active 7-way and a smart phone to pair to and it's ready to use.

Hey John, great question! The right weight distribution hitch for your setup typically depends on the tongue weight of your trailer. Is that 4,500-5,000 lbs the dry weight, something you measured, or the GVWR? Tongue weight is typically 10-15% of the…

Hello Gerard, thanks for reaching out. For starters, the Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch #WS79VR is a good choice for your Flagstaff Microlite 21DS travel trailer. It sounds like your tongue weight will be below the 850 lb limit, so…

Hello Frank, thanks for reaching out. Assuming your 2025 Ram 1500 has the factory 7-way, yes, the Curt Echo #C51180 will absolutely be compatible. It will work on pretty much any vehicle with a 7-way so as long as you have that and a smartphone with…

Yes, Jeff, your 2024 Tacoma TRD is a great match, as is any vehicle with a 7 way connector on the back. You’ll just want to use the Redarc #RED57AR and you won't need anything else. It connects in front of the 7 way outlet on your vehicle, then…
